Apples and More Apples

A few days ago I called a friend who had made the original banner for our Marquette nonviolent action that read MU Be Faithful to the Gospel, Do Not Host Military Training. We had the second half of the banner but the first half had been lost. She said she would do it and then asked me if I wanted some apples. Before I could answer her she told me that she had so many apples on her trees she did not know what to do with them. Being organic they were not the best looking apples but she insured me they were excellent for making apple pies, apple sauce and more. So although I had just gotten some organic green, good looking apples from the Share program I said yes.

When my wife and I got home from a doctor’s visit three bags of apples were waiting by my front door. They do not look good but are delicious and healthy. I cook but do not bake. Hopefully my wife can make some delicious items from all these apples on her day off this week.

An abundance of apples, good looking or not, can be a good thing if you share like my friend. I know the joy of sharing since yesterday I gave tomatoes to three friends that were over to my house. Today I went out and picked more tomatoes. It seems like the more I give or use the more I get.

Sharing apples, tomatoes, words or good will can be contagious. The more you share the more blessings you have to share. So bring on the apples and more apples.
